Quick Summary: Add Page Numbers
Add page numbers to PDF documents Siliph's Add Page Numbers is a free in-browser PDF utility featuring a built-in AI assistant to optimize formatting, suggest settings, and answer compliance questions.
What does Add Page Numbers do?
Add Page Numbers stamps sequential labels—Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, or custom prefixes—on every page of a PDF for court filings, theses, and corporate reports.
When to use Add Page Numbers
- You need to adjust layout, text, or stamps using Add Page Numbers
- A PDF must be corrected without returning to the original app
- You are preparing files for professional presentation
Courts, universities, and ISO audit procedures often require visible page numbers that may not match internal PDF viewer counters, especially after merging appendices. Add Page Numbers burns labels into the margin you choose: top, bottom, left, or right.
Siliph Add Page Numbers runs in the browser-backed pipeline with encrypted uploads. Pick a starting number for cover sheets that should not count, or number only from page two when a title page stays unnumbered.
Font size, opacity, and format strings (such as "Page 3 of 120") help match chamber rules or style guides. Numbers render as overlay content compatible with printing and downstream flattening.
Files auto-delete within two hours on the free plan, and numbering requires no signup. Use Bates Numbering instead when legal discovery demands zero-padded identifiers tied to matter IDs.
After numbering, Protect PDF if the stamped document must not be altered, or Compress PDF when the annotated file exceeds portal limits.
Siliph edit utilities—crop, rotate, headers, Bates numbers, metadata—apply changes in the browser with encrypted handling from the moment you drop a file. Finished PDFs auto-delete within two hours on the free plan, and every edit workflow opens without signup.
